I know it's alpha and things will be changed but the Day/Month/Year timer needs to slow down quite a bit, as it is you can't buy things because of the Yearly fee - I only managed to buy the upgraded chair and even then I was close to game over - It wouldn't be very historically accurate but a feature to 'buy' more Artists or even extra space would be nice.
Reviews for "Painters Guild (Alpha)"
Very dull with nothing to really spark interest during the game, place painter on painting, place them on chair if tired, place them on table if any free time...this is pretty much all that happens, the whole aspect of buying anything is badly implemented as if saving up for them the money you make gets spent on upkeep. If you are looking to have this greenlighted and then sold I would recommend adding to the game a lot, as currently it isn't even a good time dump as it gets too boring, which is the main issue with this.
Probably the best game I've played in a while, the graphic is nice and the idea is original and awesome, the music isn't distracting, there aren't any bugs, indeed the problem that causes you not to move anything at the start is normal and disappears as the actual game starts. I'm waiting for the full version, great job!
Pretty good game, somewhat addictive, but there are random game overs which I dislike. For example, I had been accused of homosexual relationships with XXXXXX XXXXXX and I just was at skill/speed 60, couldnt even reach to Andrea's skill/speed. Yet its pretty good, no glitches or stuff like that, one of the cons about the timer, is that sometimes you complete a painting but the times ran out just a milisecond before finishing it. 4.5/5
I have a bug, and i don't know if someone have the same bug : When i lost the game (can't pay the loan for the Medici), i click on "Main Menu" and after that "Start game". But there is the bug : I can't move Leonardo, Verrochio or anything in the house...
I was thinking it was good to signale in the review, maybe you can correct that.
Also, add a possibility to sell item.
Thank you for the game, it's very attractive, the music is calm, very good.
